Why must I

FIght for the rights

With which I was born

Just because

I do not conform

With what you believe?

Why must I

Continue to struggle

And hide my true self

Regardless of the price I pay

Shoving away my identity

In order to keep my life?

Why must I

Awaken every morning

With even more scars

While you sleep peacefully

As I crave nothing

But death?

Why must I 

Use up all of my strength

Fighting to keep my

Human Rights

As if your religion

Is worth more than my life?

Why must I

Be seen as a monster

When the true monster

Is you?
